Mickey's Dazzling Christmas Parade (French: Mickey et sa Parade Étincelante de Noël) is the current annual holiday parade that performs at Disneyland Paris during the Christmas season. The parade opened during the 2021 Christmas season on November 12, 2021.
The parade features five floats, and features two show stops at the Castle Hub and the Main Street, U.S.A. hub. It it performed in both the day and night.
Christmas Train - The parade begins with a large colourful locomotive, with none other than Mickey Mouse taking the lead as the driver. The yellow caboose holds a large shining Christmas Tree, while Pluto, Stitch and Pinocchio ride along with Mickey. Following the float on foot are the Three Little Pigs, Chip and Dale, and Clarice.
Sweet Factory - The next float represents the sweet side of Christmas. A large centre stage features Minnie Mouse, sometimes with Clarabelle Cow and Horace Horsecollar sometimes riding along as well if they are not on foot, while the back features a large Christmas Tree made out of cookies that looks good enough to eat, and even human Gingerbread Men. On at least one occasion, Thumper and Miss Bunny rode the back.
Clockwork Tree - Goofy leads the way for the next float has a bit of a ducky side to it, with Donald Duck, Daisy Duck and Scrooge McDuck taking front (and sometimes Goofy as well), Huey, Dewey, and Louie taking back, and a large custom tree in the middle.
Princess Dance - The princess float is led at the front by Snow White and Cinderella, a large fitting tree, and Belle and Rapunzel at the back.
Santa's Sleigh - Winnie the Pooh, Tigger, Eyore and Piglet lead the way for the finale of the parade - none other than grand ol' Santa Claus rising high in his sleigh! He is preparing to deliver gifts to the good boys and girls behind a large glass globe with a tree inside. Tinker Bell sits at the back of the float.
